Our old home from 1973 to 2012:

“Locks have been changed.

“Refrigeration equipment is now in the building.

“When the roof is done, then I guess the makeover will begin to convert the former newspaper building to a grocery store.’’

Oh, do we have a story for you, Class of ‘58!

It’s the Class on 1956 and the Keen 18.

Ever hear of these giris?

They’re all 75 now and have been meeting off and on over the years.

They made the Philadelphia Inquirer on their 50th in 1988.

We interviewed them at Trudi Hathaway’s home last week as they gathered one more time.

The story is slated for Tuesday in the Times.

Oh, what they said about you!

The South Jersey Phoenix complete their season.

“Jack,

“I want to fill you in on the season's finish.

“We had a terrific first year.

“Our record was 7-3 (as predicted) and we made the playoffs.

“The last game of the year and our first-round opponent was the same team, the South Jersey Storm.

“The last game was at home and we lost, 18-12.

“It was a terrific, well-fought battle that included an 80-yard drive with a little over 4 minutes to go.

“The Storm, to their credit, started their winning drive with less than 2 minutes to go.

“This is where their experience showed and our inexperience caught up with us.

“We played them the next week in the playoffs and we lost again. This time, the score was 22-14.

“We have 5 players who earned All Star berths.

“The All Star game, as well as the league's championship will be played on June 15, starting with the All Star game at 3:30, and the championship game at 6:30 p.m. at Jim Hursey Memorial Stadium in Bridgeton.

“I want to thank sponsors Freitag Funeral Home, Mi Familia Pizza and Ice Cream, 7-11 in Millville, PepsiCo, Acme, Starbound Gymnastics, as well as the Bridgeton Board of Education, Bridgeton Parks and Recreation and Bridgeton Midget Football for all of their support.

“We are currently working on player development and player placement (college, trade school ).

“We have also been asked to consider playing this summer in the GDFL, which we are investigating.

“We strongly believe we have created a terrific base in Bridgeton, and Cumberland County, and look forward to a long and successful franchise.

“Sincerely.’’
